Abstract

The present invention relates generally to heat pump systems enabled with inverter technology. More specifically, the invention pertains to the control logic of these systems, enabling them to adjust their power consumption in response to fluctuations in the electricity grid's frequency and voltage which relate the indication of the grid overload. A heating system with heat pump and comprising a heating component controlled by an input value capable of variation, a control unit to respond to deviations in an electricity characteristic of grid electricity supply, and power modulation mechanism coupled to the control unit and the heating component are described. The control unit determines a required change in power consumption of the heating component depending on deviation of the electricity characteristic. The power modulation mechanism adjusts the input value of the heating component in order to adjust its power consumption.

Abstract

The present invention pertains to an improved hybrid heating system design, incorporating a flow control unit that manages fluid flows between a primary heat source and a secondary heat source. The system ensures flow from a secondary heat source to a primary heat source whenever the secondary heat source is operating, thus ensuring that when the primary heat source is not operating it cannot freeze or ice up. The system therefore efficiently manages heat and ensures anti-icing protection, making it uniquely applicable in domestic hot water production, closed-loop circuit for heating or cooling applications.

Abstract

A grille for an apparatus comprising a heat exchanging unit and fan, the grille comprising a plurality of fins comprising a wing shape. The distance between the fan and the outer surface of the grille and the depth of any of the fins ensure a low visibility of the fan and a limited pressure drop of the air flow wherein the air flow rate through the grille is at least 65%. The wing shape is symmetrical about a plane through the x- and y-axis and comprises a first area and a second area wherein the first area substantially diverges to the second area and wherein the second area substantially converges from the first area and is arranged on the outer side of the grille, away from the fan, and further wherein both the first area and the second area each comprise a rounded end to minimise turbulence.

Abstract

The invention relates to a heat pump system comprising a housing with heat pump components configured to carry a flammable refrigerant, and electronic components configured to control the heat pump system. Heat pump components are arranged in a first compartment with first airflow pathway and the electronic components are arranged in a second compartment with second airflow pathway. Both compartments and respective airflow pathways are separate from each other in such a way that they are impermeable to the transfer of refrigerant between them. This prevents leaked refrigerant from spreading from the first compartment through the housing to the second compartment and thereby reduces ignition risk.
